  Key and Explanations:
  1. No
  See para.1: Europe’s energy firms have failed to invest in networks…
  2. Yes
  See para.2: Energy prices vary wildly across Europe.
  3. Not Given
  See para.2: It is remarkably hard, for example, for gas-poor Germany to import from the neighbouring, gas-rich Netherlands.
  4. No

  13. competition and security
